Thanks you guys. I think I wil do the 5 day pouch test and get back with the program. I didn't spend all that money to stay fat!!
Omg Luke, you hit it right on the head! I totally used my injury as an excuse to eat badly. Good luck to you on your upcoming surgery. You'll do fine since you already have such good advise! Thanks...
Okay, my surgery was in October and I lost 25 pounds pretty quickly. Then I fell and broke my foot. I've been non weight bearing on that foot for 3 months now. I couldn't exercise and I have been...
Hi! I'm from Vegas. Been looking for some pals from here too. Dr. Umbach was my surgeon.
I'm still struggling with that problem. I decided it must be head hunger, and I fight the urge to eat. As time goes by, it is getting easier to talk myself out of munching. I find if make some hot...
Hi have my tickers for pounds lost and days since surgery. How do I add the ticker for pounds lost from start? Thanks
Hi all. I'm 8 weeks out and have only lost 22 lbs. my doc says its normal for people who start off at lower weights lose much slower than folks who start out much heavier. Any of you with less...
Congratulations! Dr. Umbach is my doc too. I hope I do as good as you after a year!! Way to go.
Thanks you guys. I'll up my protein and drink more water (ugh).
Well I'm out about 9 weeks and I've been stuck at the same weight now for 3 or 4 weeks. I broke my foot so I have not done any exercise. Should I go back to liquids only? Protein shakes etc. I don't...
Same thing happening to me. I'll be 3 weeks post op on Friday and have stalled. Checked my measurements and surprise, I have lost 12" ! I guess we have to keep on pluging away. Want to see the...
Thanks all. The jam has moved. Lol. I will concentrate on sipping more water. Thanks
That is low. Are you dehydrated? What meds are you taking. I'm an RN so I can't advise you, but I would go to Walmart and buy a BP monitor. You can get one for around 30.00. If you still feel like...
Hi everyone. I'm on day 8 post op. I'm having a few issues maybe you all can help with. Still having trouble with getting enough water in. Constipated and dizzy a lot. Feels like low blood sugar but...
That is so awesome!! Congrats
Hi there. I'm so sorry you feel so bad. I'm 6 days post up and have had moments where I wonder what the hell I did to myself. I also feel like nothing will be normal again. I guess that's the idea....
Lots of great ideas here. Thanks you guys can't wait to make some soups.
Awesome girl !! Congrats. Hope I can do as well as you. Keep us informed
Thanks you guys. I was dying to try it but wanted some approval LOL. I chewed a piece BBQ kielbasa till it was paste, then spit it out. I have to admit, it totally cured my craving! Luv this
Has anyone tried chewing food but not swallowing it just to get flavor ?
Yes I did thanks. I'll follow that.
I'm 2 days out and thought the same thing. I look down at my belly and say to myself, what the heck did you do to yourself. I think we just have to get past these first couple od weeks and we'll be...
ThAnks everyone. I appreciate the info. My surgeons nutritionist was a little vague on the first week. Do you guys think its okay to sip on a protein shake now?
Hi everyone. Had my sleeve yesterday, I have a couple of questions. Do I start my protein shakes right away or stay on clear liquids for a few days? Also, how long does the sore throat last from...
